Airports, airplanes, non stop work at a trade show. Enough reasons to get grumpy today. Is it Thursday yet?
Also, friends' cats are not meshing with us. Probably gonna tell him to keep looking for new family or get his shit together and take them with him to his new home.

L'shanah tovah, hebrews.
Mornin!
Was supposed to go camping this weekend but it ended up becoming a really long day trip. Went to the Crystal Mill with the wife, ran Lead King Basin to get there. Just as pretty as pictured, probably a few days past the foliage prime but oh well. I was disappointed to see the etiquette of the photographers there who were breaking branches and trampling brush to make sure they got their picture. Shameful.

Leave No Trace.
Unless the shot is compromised. Then go ahead and break shit up to get a nice, clean shot.
People suck.
I knew there was a caveat to that Leave No Trace thing. I should have paid attention in Boyscouts.

Bigger ride yesterday (3k up, 4k down) chased by a few good beers has me tired today.
@stoney stopped by to drop off some wheels to get rebuilt, and his most awesome daughter was riding around my house with NO training wheels, like a boss.
high five back at you...
Wife commented on your picture as we'd been in CB a few weeks ago, I wondered which route you'd taken to get to the Mill.
She's a natural; riding inches from the wall on corners, full head turn for turning. This will end awesome, or poorly depending on which parent you ask.
Morning Monkeys.
Had an emergency get the f@ck out trip due to the wife not wanting to deal with the neighbor.
Spent the weekend in the gorge and finally figured out where the house we took pictures at was on the cliff. When we had our wedding photos done, there was a gazebo in the back yard boult into the side of the cliff. We had looked for it a few times, but finally spotted it yesterday.
You can't see the house, but you can see the awful monster they built next door. It's the white spec on the corner. For reference, here is the view from said gazebo (Washington side looking at Hood):

that's when you drop kick them
First Tahoe snow yesterday/last night. Mountains are white (duh). Roads are clear, but wet. Dogs are sleeping. Wife has highest score of her fantasy league.
It's going to be a good Monday.....

how far is your local BMX track?
3 miles from the house.
so what are you waiting for?
also, cruiser class = 26". it's filled with old dudes like us.
Me = fat and out of shape. Maybe in another year once she's ready for it. Winter makes for hard getting in time because of the cold.
Your BMX Future (Don't let it happen this you!):
You: fat, lazy, with 26" unrideabru MTB around BMX track, telling kid what to do from behind. You only practice.
Kid: sits down whole lap, while you on the sidelines yell, "PEDAL!!! PEDAL DAMMIT!!!!! (even when kid should be pumping)...OK, this happened to me once...it was a horrible experience, like I became a little league dad out of the 80's.
But seriously, you can race any size bike in Novice class, just no clipless pedals. Give it a try! Many tracks offer beginner clinics nowadays. We found it really helpful.
No clips... But I like clips, because fast!
then you'll need to advance past novice class.
Poop Nirvana achieved, single wipe, no tracers.
Gonna be a good day.

Well that's not going to work...
already making excuses i see
Ya Jon is correct. Too many 5 year olds wrecking with cleep leees pedalz, so USA BMX released new rule that Novices ride on flats, win 10 races then you can 'clip in'...OR you can race cruiser class and clip in, but that can be competitive, if that matters to you.
And our base manager isn't here. I can't think of a better analogy.
"employee appreciation week".
Stoney, I'll race BMX with my 5010 on flats if you're also at the starting gate. Hilarity will ensue. 
I am finally at work. Had lots of non-work shit to get done beforehand, like dropping off Mariko via bike trailer, picking up a pesky registered mail package (new Lake shoes!), and donating the unloved front rack that I unwisely purchased earlier.
Since you all deserve a treat for reading my post thus far, here's my family as of yesterday afternoon. Tripod + 10 second timer + luck + willing to post a shot where Yuna is looking at me instead of the camera:

what'd you get?
MX 160 Wide, for my wide paws.
cool. the only lake's i have are the 145's and 303's for fall and winter riding. very pleased with both.
Listed my 04 WRX on Craigslist this AM. I have 2 offers from Marine engineers that are out to sea that are willing to pay full price if they can buy it on Pay Pal. Do people really fall for this type of shit?
Lots of junkies under influence on the streets of New Orleans.
shit son...you ain't fat....you're husky.
All black clothes and good lighting. You've not seen me sans shirt; it's ugly. Definitely not at a healthy size.
Moar Lesbaru. Moar gears.
Should be picking this up this week. 2008 Legacy Spec B. Factory 6 sp STI trans with the 2.5T motor.
